Whole Foods sells Engine 2 products and I thought I’d try one of their recipes. Engine 2 makes whole plant-based foods that taste good. They hope to help people rid themselves of refined and processed foods and live a more healthier lifestyle. I love stuffed bell peppers and this was a simple delicious healthy recipe to make.
Ingredients:
2 red bell peppers, halved lengthwise through the stem end and seeded
1 avocado, diced and divided
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin, or to taste
1 (13-ounce) package frozen Engine 2 Plant-Strong® Organic Fiesta Blend Grain Medley, prepared according to package instructions
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
Method:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange bell pepper halves cut-side down on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and roast until just slightly charred and softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool.
To make the dressing, blend avocado, lime juice and cumin in a blender until smooth. In a large bowl, toss the Fiesta Blend Grain Medley with onion, cilantro and half of the dressing. Taste and add more dressing if desired; save remaining dressing for another use. Mound the mixture into the roasted bell pepper halves and garnish with cilantro.
